    My AFI was measured at 31 yesterday. No wonder I find it hard to breathe. Surely it has to peak soon and start getting lower, about 32 - 34 weeks from what I've read. Fingers crossed.

    Starrysky - How is your SIL ? Still hanging in there ?

    Teresa - thanks.
    I have a question you may be able to answer. When you had all this excess fluid do you recall hearing popping type sounds. Almost like air bubbles bursting inside your stomach. I'm having there quite regurarly on the sides and towards the top of my uterus. I didn't have anything like this with either other pregnancy so wondering if it is polyhydroamnios related ?

    Another scan showed an increase in my AFI. It also showed that the blood flow thru the ambilical cord has decreased. Seeing OB at 2:15pm tomorrow so fingers crossed she will explain what all this means for me. Very uncomfortable, can't breath well without feeling like I have a stitch. So over this pg.
